Here are the firsts created for the Fathers’ Day, the Summer Solstice and the non-official Selfie Day, a day dedicated for the self love.

Tonwen Jones illustrated the cover of the Bulletin magazine, for a feature on dementia impacts on communication aspects. Tonwen says : "I was asked to illustrate an elderly person as the main focus with the top of their head open revealing thoughts, memories and patterns."

Colours, texture and shapes combined in the new Pedro Covo´s Underwater series to present simple and dynamic pieces, that represent the most honest and mundane subjects for a person, like Pedro, who has been living most of his life by the Caribbean sea.

I have been exploring more conceptual illustration ideas, brighter colours and more impact, focusing heavily on the message."
